I’ll give you one example that continually jumps out at me as we talk about how to make The Sims 4 feel uniquely personal to you, our players. I mentioned Create A Sim – which, to me, is still one of the single most impactful features of the entire game. Not only is it hilariously entertaining, now you’re building in real personality. In The Sims 4, there are seven unique walk styles that you can choose from to help your Sims express themselves.
CAS hasn't even really that much progressed and it's basically the only thing that wasn't a 'decrease tho, Obviously it's gonna be an impactful feature since it's the ONLY additional feature
and wow, walk styles so revolutionary, I'd rather have my toddlers
They don't get it do they?
The problem isn't that they chose to focus on something different.People are pissed because they take away elements we've had since Sims 1 (or toddlers since TS2) that could've easily been added in the base game to release overpriced EPs later on
EA is the pits
+ CAS is much better that cannot be denied. Hopefully outfits / hairstyles can match this
+ Build Mode seems better for the most part. Hard to tell without testing but it looks to solve a lot of issues building since the Sims 2.
+ If they can deliver on the improved AI / routing I will be VERY happy! This has been an issue since Sims 1 with stomping fits, standing there for 30 minutes before changing for work, long delays of standing between commands, taking longest possible route, etc...
I don't care for toddlers so as long as they keep the above and deliver pools in a FREE patch I may be excited again. I am definitely going to wait a little to see reviews / how much they try to nickel and dime players.

I agree but when you take out integral parts of The Sims series, it doesn't make sense nor does it add up.
The game is ruined and it seems like the SimGurus are going out of their way to spread the negative aspects like wildfire, using their PR so that they don't look like they're trashing the game to EA. They are doing all of the work for us - because no one is stupid enough to genuinely mean what they are saying.

I agree. What I don't get is this is Maxis making it and not even Sims Studio. They made 1 and 2 so they should know better what fans want. It makes no sense unless their project leader is a complete moron or EA is forcing them to do this to sell expansions at a later date. Either are possible explanations.
The passive aggressiveness in the SimGuru posts. Them purposefully going out of their way to say what is wrong with their game and hide it behind basic "new" (old) features. Them saying that they won't buy or play the game.
